Welch Library Journals

Several volumes of psychiatric journals from the Welch Library will be available only by interlibrary loan for four to six months because they have been given to the American Psychiatric Association for a digitization project. Though the print journals will not be returned, library users will have perpetual access to the digitized back files.

The titles and volumes that are affected are American Journal of Insanity/American Journal of Psychiatry, v. 46-153; Journal of Psychiatric Education, v. 1-2 and 4-12 (v. 3 was missing); Psychosomatics, v. 1-38; and Hospital & Community Psychiatry, v. 17-19.
